.PAN

Application led February 23, 1926. Serial No. 89,901.

This invention relates to an improved con struction of sheet metal pan employed more particularly in the art of vulcanizing coils of insulated wire cable and the like, but which may beemployed for any other purpose for which it is adapted; and the object of this invention is the provision of a pan of this character which is channel shape in radial cross section and has a bottom plate with inner and outerchanneled annular walls welded to the bottom plate to form the desired channel construction.

With these and other objects in view, the invention consists of certain novel features of construction, as will be more fully described, and particularly pointed out in the appended claims.

In the accompanying drawings Figure 1 is a top View or plan of the channelshaped pan with its cover removed.

Figure 2 is a section of my improved pan on line 2-2 of Figure 1.y

Figure 3 is a sectional elevation of the lid or cover for the pan. v

Figure tl is an enlarged sectional view of the channel portion of the pan showing the reinforcing band or strip for supporting the channel portion when a lifting force is applied to the pan.

Figure 5 is a viewv enlarged from that shown in Figure 2, illustrating the attaching yoke through which lifting power may be applied to the pan.

Figure 6 is a side elevation of a portion of the side wall of the pan showing my improved form of handle connected thereto.

Figure 7 is a top view showing a portion of the outer channeled wall of the pan and showing the handle as swung up into opera y or it may be formed by folding the edge of tive position.

Figure 8 is a. modified construction illustrating the inner and outer walls of the channel as having their edges or rim'portons, folded over to form reinforcing strips abouty the desired strain-resisting qualities. To accomplish which, I have formed the body or main portion of the pan of two annular spaced bands, each being welded to a supporting base late. I have also formed a stiffening rim a out the edge of the pan and means being provided at the center of the pan to which a lifting tackle may be applied. A separate lid is formed to cover the carrying space in the pan, the lid being so constructed thatk when applied it will not interfere with'the connecting of the lifting power to the body portion; and the following is a detailed description of the present embodiment of my invention and showing one construction of pan by which these advantageous results may be acconiplised:

With reference to the drawings, 10 designates the base plate of the pan, which is provided with a-central opening as at 11, and an upturned outer edge flange 12 within n which flange is set the lower edge 13 of the annular band 14 to form the outer side wall for thechaniiel, the lower edge of this wall being secured to this upturned flange 12 by an electro welding operation at the outer edge 15 and also in many cases at the inner corner 16.

An annular band forming the inner channel wall 17 is welded at 18 at its lowei' edge to the inner edge of the bottom plate 10 thus forming a pan which is channel shaped in radial cross section to provide an annular storing space 19 therein for electrical wire coils or the like. n i

In some instances, I provide a reinforcing strip or band 21 about the outer rim of the either separately and welded into position,

this wall over outwardly as at 22, best shown In order to provide simple Vand effective means for applying'lifting power to the pan and the load carried thereby, I have formed cross bars 25 and 26, the outer ends of which may be supported by the inner wall 17 of the pan, if desired, and at the center is shown a washer 27V beneath-these bars at their point of crossingland through this washer 1 have passed the ends 28 of the yoke 29 which is secured thereto by nuts 80, the yoke being in such forni as to straddle these bars leaving an open loop above thein to which may be attached a hook or any rigging through which Y saine at the points wherethe strain is applied;

and to yaccomplish this, I have provided a set of reinforcingstrips 33, see `Figure i, atutlie point where the handles 31l andthe ends of the bars 25 are secured, th'ese'ban'ds being of alength to extend' from the edge strip 21 around beneath the bottom plate and up along the inner wall and are preferably secured in position by a weldingoperation.

In -sonieinstances, it is found of advantage to provide a lidor cover 34 for the pan,

which williit overy the channel'portion of the same leaving the inner orcentral portion open and free to receive the power-lifting apparatus.-

My improved sheet-metal vulcanizing -pan is extremely strong'.V and "durableand yet coinparatively inexpensive in construction.

rlhe foregoingdescription is directed solely towards the construction illustrated, but l'desire it to be understood that I'reserve the privilege of resorting to all theinechanical changes to'which the'device is susceptible, the invention being defined and limited only by the terms of the' appendedclaimsk.
